“Women Police officers would be sensitive enough to understand the grievances of the female victims,” she added.
The purpose behind opening a women’s police station in South Kashmir is to provide a better environment for women as crimes against women have been increasing. With this step, these crimes will be dealt with full force.
Earlier in February, Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district also got its first women police station which was inaugurated by Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh.
The DGP added that opening up separate Women Police Stations will provide an opportunity to the women of the respective areas to come forward more freely to report crime as they would be able to express their grievances more comfortably.
Women police stations have been opened at all range levels across Jammu and Kashmir, the DGP informed.
